Suenderella

I had a busy Saturday being 'Suenderella' hehehe...

My apartment's decor is cream with a splash of red but lately I notice the cream curtain and sofa cover looks more 'kepam' than cream. So last Saturday I decided to wash them and clean the apartment from top to bottom. I'm not sure what the equivalent English word for 'kepam' is. To give some idea, when I soak the curtain, it took 4-5 change of water before the water looks quite clear. The first time I soak the curtain, the water looks like squid's ink. Iyyeeewwww...

Does that show how dirty the air quality around us is or how lazy I was? A bit of both? Seriously, I remember a long time ago, I can clean the ceiling fan like once or twice a year before it accumulates really really black grime and dust but I've clean my ceiling fan quite recently and I can't stand looking at it now. Can't clean the fan this time though coz my brother Aie took back his ladder. Hmmm... must let the fan move all the time so I will not notice the black grime and dirt ;) *Short term solution only*

Vacuum the whole house, mop the floor and clean the toilet. At noon, mom calls and asks whether she can come in the afternoon instead of evening because adik wants to watch AF3. Alamak I have not prepared anything, the sofa has got no cover and I have no curtain too. But said yes anyway. Its 12 o'clock and I expected them to arrive at 2 for a late lunch. A friend is also coming to spend the weekend with me. So in between cleaning up the mess that happens due to cleaning, prepared wantan mee.

At 1.40, I'm sure I have everything under control when I received another phone call from mom. She said, "tak jadilah coz adik dah tertidur". Huh! I'm wondering if this is going to be a weekend where all plans go haywire so smsed my friend asking what time she'll be coming. I expected her to come at about 3 but she said she'll reach my place around 6. She's going new-car-hunting. Who's going to eat all the food I prepared? Luckily Aie comes back so we had lunch together.

Finally my friend came at 8 p.m. She said Kepong is very jammed. I thought the wantan mee I prepared will end up in the fridge but between the two of us, we managed to almost clean up everything in between chit chat. I'll probably give the wantan mee recipe one of these days. It feels so nice when the apartment is spick and span again. There's a certain glow looking at the curtain now where before it looks like curtains at an abandoned house. The sofa looks like new and I can lie down on the floor and not see a layer of dust on it. That's the satisfaction of being a 'Suenderella' for a while. There is no need for a pair of glass shoe and a prince :)
